Camera mount threadsize

As far as expensive toys, I have a Bogen 3006 monopod that cost $35 at B&H. I added a Bogen 3229 tilt head for $25 or so. The head has quick-release plate identical to the one on my 3030 3-D head. I use it with my 35mm and Medium Format gear. The only thing I miss is a spiked foot, and you can add that. This is a very functional setup that doesn't cost a lot of money and is versatile.

Not a problem. I don't have any plastic bodied cameras that I'd ever want to use for anything. But I will think about adding a nut or two to the design.

You might consider using a 1/4"-20 screw that is over length, with a wingnut. If you are attaching to a chunk of wood, put the wingnut on the screw, the screw through the wood, turn it three or four turns into the camera, then use the wingnut to tighten it on down.

In the United States you have 1/4" diameter, 20 threads per inch, with 1/2" in length. However, I would suggest that you just measure the screw on your cheapo tripod.

What can I say about this project: I'm cheap and my time's cheaper. Unfortunately my only job right now maxes out at about 12 hours a week so money is at a premium but time is not.
